Sixth Form

Life in the Sixth Form means taking more responsibility for studies and daily living

While we are here to help when we are needed, developing independence means students making their own decisions. They will start to do more for themselves, including budgeting, shopping, cooking, washing... even the dreaded ironing! Experienced, knowledgeable and qualified staff are on hand to provide support, advice and encouragement while students develop these skills.

Sixth Form life is relaxed and fun. As independence grows, a new world of exciting activities opens up. The atmosphere is full of confidence and achievement. Living in a large group means making new friends, as well as always having someone to socialise with.

Care tutors support our students in the Sixth Form Hostel and House which are organised to ease the transition to University and further education. There is a Common Room with TV/DVD Player, stereo, pool table and video games as well as shared living areas.

“NCW is both an ordinary school and an extraordinary school. It has fulfilled all of Matthew’s and our expectations in what it could offer. Matthew always wanted to be the same in a different school, rather than different in a normal school.”
Sally, Parent
